2009 Jetta BlueTDI Comes to US This Summer, Sports 60 MPG
May 11, 2008 in science
“VW’s ultra-low emission Jetta BlueTDI will be coming to the US mid-summer, according to an announcement made late last month at the Vienna Motor Symposium. This newer version of the Jetta will meet the strictest emissions standards in the world—BIN5/LEV2—which are enforced by 5 US states: California, Massachusetts, Maine, New York, and Vermont. BIN5/LEV2 standards severely cap nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions (0.05 g/mile), one of the two tailpipe pollutants that have given diesels a bad rap (that and particulate matter).”

A professional view of Green Chemistry for the general reader
Having worked in Green Chemistry since about 1990, I hope to offer comments that help you evaluate what is really good for the environment, what helps but could be better, and what is undesirable. This is my second blog- the first reviews fiction, but since I put some Green Chemistry there out of impatience, there are cross-references between the blogs. Comments are welcome and encouraged!
